My expat journey
Toulon, Provence-Alpes-C么te d'Azur, France
Getting to know expat people living in the area
I am a real estate broker
One of the most beautiful place in the world, combining great landscapes, seashore and countryside. Wine and food being the pinnacle of our culture
Taxes (way too high)
French tend to be complaining all the time (be ready for that)
El Nido, Mimaropa, Philippines
This is where I started a career as an entrepreneur.
I first created a fashion brand then started my own hotel and restaurant
Most beautiful beaches in the world
Was practically unknown 10 years ago and I profited from being one of the first pioneer entrepreneur to ever move there
Water/electricity
Local people can get pretty aggressive in the most remote locations
Imported goods
Local administration
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
A lot of parties and night life
I was a cabin crew for the national airline
Restaurants
Luxury
Night life
Tax free (back in the days)

My family and I were relocated in Laos for a while as my dad was a former general manager for a hotel.
Hotel manager
People are really kind and authentic
Laos used to be off the touristic beaten track
Wildlife
None
Bangkok, Thailand
I moved to Thailand in order to attend an american school in Bangkok.
I then worked in several places such as Chiang Mai (where my parents used to have a house), Pattaya and Phuket.
Having spent a total of 15 years on and off Thailand, I definitely call it home.
I speak Thai fluently
I was then a student then I worked in several hotels all over the country
Food (yeahhhhh)
Boxing (being a pro boxer myself)
Traditions (something thai people are very proud of)
Panoramas and landscapes
People are two faced
